The root cause of many of our ailments is the mind. If we are suffering from an illness that is related to stress, how can we completely address the illness without working with the mind? The meditation techniques taught are non-religious and help patients more clearly relate to themselves and their environment. There are a variety of meditation techniques taught here at Root Healing Acupuncture. Meditation begins with finding a stable posture and working with the breath. When the mind calms down a bit, the root causes of our mental and physical anguish are examined. When we stop associating with all the chatter in our minds that pull us towards our likes and away from our dislikes, space for us to truly heal opens up. As the mind becomes healthy, the body becomes healthy.
